Postdoc position in Numerical Simulation in Lattice QCD

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES - Interdisciplinary work at the intersection of biochemistry, epigenetics, genetics and computational biology, focusing on the organisation and regulation of mRNA transcription in ciliates, as part of the DFG-funded project "The divergent PolII complex of Paramecium: transcription initiation, pausing and elongation without Rpb1 heptad repeats and NELF" - Application of state-of-the-art chromatin analysis in combination with NGS processing procedures: ChIP-seq, MNase-seq and Pro-seq to characterise chromatin and transcriptional activity in wild-type and knockdown cell cultures - Development of novel wet-lab methods for proximity-labeling based analysis of protein complexes in ciliates, structural analysis and phosphoproteomics - Joint development and publication of scientific articles, presentation of results at workshops and conferences - Publication of research results in scientific journals, as well as at specialist congresses and conferences - Co-supervision of students - Own scientific further education PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS - Completed degree (master or equivalent from university or university of applied sciences) in a relevant discipline (e.g., Biology, Biochemistry) - You have a strong interest in fundamental chromatin biology and epigenetics within a relevant interdisciplinary context - You have strong analytical skills and scientific thinking - You share knowledge or experience with chromatin analyses, Mass-Spec; bioinformatics experience (Python/R) would be an advantage - You are a proactive, competent personality with commitment and motivation
